Wall Street sell-siders are expecting to report earnings of $0.16 per share on revenues of $2.76 billion for the June quarter. Consensus estimates for the current quarter ending in September are for earnings of $0.23 per share on revenues of $2.87 billion.
However, Netflix is a subscriber additions story more than earnings and revenue numbers per se. For the June quarter, Wall Street is currently expecting Netflix to have added 630,000 subscribers stateside and 2.6 million new subscribers overseas. Last year, at the same quarter, Netflix added 162,000 subscribers domestically.
